Picnic de Libros is a bilingual, family day program featuring storytelling, theatre, music, arts and crafts, dance, and picnic baskets full of books, for families to enjoy together. The event is free, and its main goal is to expose kids to the richness and variety of the cultural traditions in our diverse community. These gatherings will tickle children’s curiosity while using the power of stories to bring people together, promoting literacy, and nurturing the next generation of engaged world citizens. We want to encourage kids to read and develop a passion for books and literature. Culminating each day, we will serve a special picnic with blankets on the lawn and baskets full of books, in both Spanish and English. Picnic de Libros is produced by the Koubek Center and Fundacion Cuatrogatos.
Next Picnic will have the following activities:
• Colombian actress Danly Arango will offer workshop on puppet making
• Enjoy the music and stories of Cuban singer Rita Rosa Ruesga, nominated four times to the Latin Grammy.
• Choreographer and dancer from Suriname Christian Olmtak who will get the kids moving with a breakdancing workshop
• A mini children's play called "A wild day" by Colombian group Creative Stage Productions
